Reports state that Bruce evaded police by using some incredible hiding skills. He is said to have changed his appearance and moved frequently. He also used booby traps at his personal residences.

“Our sources say Bruce rigged up places he was living with booby traps that included propane tanks tied to doors ... and used cameras to create homemade surveillance systems around his properties,” according to reports.
